MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
YES!
This is like a 10 minute drive from my house and this case BURNS ME THE HELL UP! I've been pretty angry about it ever since i first heard about it. I am SO happy something it going to happen to this bitch (Not that she hasn't already been ostracized from her community)!
<---The story
<--- The indictment
I dislike the fact that i have to live beneath the same SKY as this bitch after the BS she pulled.

Good. I thought that story of bullying was real tragic.

Good. That bitch deserves to go to prison.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
Normally I think this whole type of thing is ridiculous, but damn was I happy when I saw they threw the book at her ass.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
I dunno. What she did is absolutely deplorable, don't get me wrong-but the girl chose to commit suicide on her own. That would be like someone on here pretending to be someone they're not, developing a close relationship with one of us and then sending nasty messages and then the person killed themselves. Or, if someone committed suicide after being bullied at school. I'm not saying bullying is right, but would you charge them with a crime because their bullying led to suicide? I really don't want to sound like I'm heartless, because I'm not, but you can't make someone kill themselves.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
Well, she's not being charged for murder. She is being charged with harassment and so forth, which IMHO is perfectly reasonable. That kind of behavior should be, and is, a crime. The fact that she drove the girl to suicide makes the whole situation that much more tragic.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
The crime isn't murder. It's a 40-something year old woman organizing a harassment of a 13 year old girl that ultimately led to her suicide. They are talking between 5 and 20 years in prison. I doubt she serves the entirety of whatever her sentence winds up being if she's found guilty (Something i have no doubt will happen, having followed the case). It's not even really about her serving jail-time to me (though i want her to serve some time desperately), it's about her facing what she did (she hasn't), having to admit it in court (something that will be part of any plea) and having it on her record forever. People who do things like this should have it in a file somewhere so others who need to can find it out. She's obviously crazy getting that hemmed up into junior high school drama at her age.
If i could pin a scarlet letter to this 'woman' i would do it in a heartbeat.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
Finally justice will be served.
A 40 year old women bullying and harassing a vulnerable 13 yr old is just despicable and down right disgusting imo. She deserves to face the consequences.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
What in the world would possess a 49 year old woman to harass and bully a 13 year old??
She's just as crazy as those stage moms who break the legs of their daughters cheerleading competitors.
I'm glad she's been indicted...hopefully will be charged. As with everything else in life...there are consequences.
It's sickening that her and her husband were "so compassionate" after the girl killed herself. Just sickening.

Yeah, but hopefully none of us on here are 13 years old, you know? It seems much different when it's a 49 year old woman picking on a 13 year old.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
This case made me really upset when I heard about it. it totally exemplifies the old saying "pick on someone your own size". This woman deserves to pay for what she has done.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!

WHAT!? That's happened before!? I know that Tonya Harding's husband did that, but other stage moms? Please tell me that you made that up.
Yes, that woman set a horrible example for other kids. Childhood bullying is hard enough, as peer acceptance is their world. Lori Drew knew that she was pushing it, making other kids think that it was a game. Fucking disgusting.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
That bitch better be thrown in jail for the maximum sentence. After that I hope she becomes the bitch of someone terribly ugly.
My heart completely broke when I read that girl's story. I spent eight years of my life being viciously bullied, I know how it feels. The fact that an adult was bullying the girl is absolutely horrifying to me though. I think the woman needs a psychological evaluation before anything else, cause that's not normal behaiviour in an adult mind.

It's hard for me to imagine this case going very far, and I think it might not be a great thing for free speech if it does.
I also think the poor girl was kind of a ticking time bomb as far as mental issues. To kill oneself is really serious. There were no doubt more horrible things going on in her life and/or she had a case of clinical depression. Lots of teens are dumped and worse, and relatively few kill themselves over it. I wonder about her homelife and parents.

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
Virgoamm...Have you ever gone through major bullying? Everybody has a breaking point and obviously hers was hit through bullying. So far as I'm concerned, the woman who inflicted the pain on her is nothing more than a murderer.
And I personally think there's a very strong case here. Yes, everyone has a right to free speech, but that is no longer the case when the speech begins to infringe on someone elses rights or has truly dangerous consequences, such as in this case.
This wasn't just picking on a girl, this was cold-blooded murder. Five bucks says I am over reacting since shit like this made the majority of my childhood a living nightmare, but just thinking about that cute, smiling little girl in the photos hanging because of what that horrible woman said to her literally brings tears to my eyes. I know, "sticks and stones" and all that bullshit, but that's not real, words are actually often more panful than physical abuse.

See, I don't know about that, because they'd have to prove intent, I think (re. dangerous consequences). I don't know how the ruse actually "infringed on the girl's rights" (rights to what? to not be lied to?) although it was certainly a terrible thing to do. I have no empathy for the woman's actions at all, but I don't know that it's a good case, or should be.

I think the fact that all the speech took place over the internet, too, probably weakens the case.
Imagine it wasn't the woman making a fake character, but a real guy who met the teen on the internet and dumped her, and she responded by killing herself (because from her perspective, that's what it was, and that kind of thing happens all the time in reality). Should it be prosecutable then? Because it would certainly be cruel, and it would have had a devastating outcome, as with this case. You might argue that they guy isn't responsible for her choosing to kill herself, and it wasn't his intent, even though he was cruel. Likewise I think one might have a hard time arguing that it was the woman's intent that the teen kill herself, although her actions were cruel.

It was her OWN mother? Or someone elses?

Re: MO mom indicted for her role in Myspace Suicide!!!
So I'm the only one who thinks that it is kind of a misapplication? That they are taking laws intended to address hacking and using them to insinuate criminal liability into a website's terms of service? I think that is actually fucked up. So now if you violate terms of service rather than being kicked off the website you can expect criminal charges?

Maybe I am just cynical, but I think it's crazy they want to make an example out of this women. Obviously, the women is psychologically disturbed to worry herself with a 13 year old girl and go to these great lengths to embarass her, but this is the same old "put the responsibility on someone else" story.
These days at 13 years old you KNOW how to control yourself, or at least you SHOULD. And where were this girl's parents? If we want to place the blame, where the hell were they NOT monitoring their 13 year old daughter?
In this day and age, it always has to be someone else's fault. It's the tobacco companies fault for letting me smoke, McDonald's for making me fat...etc. Bullshit. People need to take fucking responsibility for some actions. Yes, the women is clearly bat shit crazy, yes. Did she do something that no one else has ever done? Probably not. Did she make this 13 year old girl kill herself? No. But she isn't being charged for that. If she did commit a crime, yes, she should be charged for that but held responsible for this 13 year old girl's suicide? Hell no.
I just can't believe someone would actually kill themselves over some retarded messages sent over myspace. That makes me think there needed to be some better parenting involved.
